[V8] C4 100 -- v8 interchange, and Front CV questions.

[Ed Kellock]

Yes, I made this mistake long ago, torx instead of triple square.  I was
able to recover from it fairly gracefully but BTDT not doing it again.

Don't THINK about using a torx, let alone trying it.
What you need is called a triple square, IIRC the CV bolts are 10mm Triple
Square. You can get them in the tool section of your local flaps in a pinch,
Most, if not all flaps will carry the Lisle brand set:

they work just fine with a socket on the end.

BCNU,
